I will Try, But I'm no expert and whatever i say wrong Rick can correct. In the Profile section you will see ramp time you add the time you want it to take to go from 0% to 50% IE 60min,90min 15min Etc As for the % of power you set the Max setting and the start setting in your case at 10%-50% and the start time and end time.
Example Light on at 9:00AM Ramp up time 90Min (10:30) your at the 50% you chose then select ramp down time Off 9:00PM Ramp Down time 90min from 50%-0% = lights off at 10:30 This is just an example and you will choose as to how long your lights stay on in total including ramp up and ramp down.
This may need to be done in seperate locations on the Apex, Im not positive on this part.

PS Go easy on me Rick!

It might be helpful to look at this thread for some examples:

There are some really cool things you can do with DIY LEDs and the Apex.

Thnks for thread link. Been debating on which controller to buy, seems the Apex is the way to go

I've actually been rather impressed with the Reef Angel. The RA handles dimming (sunrise/sunset) with a PWM slope function and can also do your regular variety of dimming- I'm not a pro at programming, but their forum is really helpful.
